There are two limitations on the power handling ability of a
transistor: average junction temperature and second breakdown. Safe operating area curves indicate IC – VCE limits of
the transistor that must be observed for reliable operation;
i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greater dissipation than the curves indicate.
The data of Figure 3 is based on T
J(pk)
= 150_C; TC is
variable depending on conditions. Second breakdown pulse
limits are valid for duty cycles to 1 0% provided T

150_C. At high case temperatures, thermal limitations will
reduce the power that can be handled to values less than the
limitations imposed by second breakdown.
